Sensitization, epileptic-like symptoms and local synchronization in patients with paranoid schizophrenia

Abstract

Recent findings indicate that changes in synchronization of neural activities underlying sensitization and kindling could be more comprehensively understood using nonlinear methods. Results of this study provide evidence for the relationship between local synchronization and epileptic-like symptoms in schizophrenia.
